…or just let this guy do it.
Martin Strel is a world-class swimmer with a zeal for breaking records. Already having broken many Guinness World Records for distance swimming, including swimming the Adriatic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Danube River and the Mississippi River, Stel decided to attempt the unthinkable: swim the entire Amazin river.
He succeeded. In a mere 66 days, Martin Strel managing to swim all 5268 kilometers (3274 miles) of the world’s second-longest river. Uh oh… I don’t want to give Martin any ideas!
Strel plans on releasing documentary materials covering his accomplishment, including a movie and a book. For more information, visit the Amazon Swim Project website.
ps. I wonder if he saw any crazy creatures on his journey!
